| - My sister and my boyfriend came by last night after searching for vegetarian friendly restaurants in Montreal (on Yelp of course!), and we found La Folie du Koshary close by. It was packed when we went in (mainly because there was a large family occupying two large tables. We were a bit confused when no one greeted us, but turns out there was only one waiter serving the whole restaurant, and he was tucked in the back with a customer paying a bill. Originally we were told the place was full, but he did offer us a small table in the end. A bit crammed, but bearable.
Good: The falafels are amazing! So much better and lighter than the Arabic style ones. I've really enjoyed the Mesakaa, mainly because I love eggplants, so I could've eaten three of those. The pita portions were very generous to share among three people. The space is definitely cozy, not the most fancy of decor, but it felt authentic.
Bad: I was not a fan of the Koshary because it kinda reminds me of leftovers assembled together...it was just carbs galore and a bit short on the sauces. I guess in pictures it looked a lot better, but it really didn't do much for me. I don't hate it, but I didn't quite enjoy it either.
Bottom line: The food is good and inexpensive, kind of what you would expect from restaurants in the Concordia area.
